Love Factually

Step away, step further back
 you unexpressed feelings are more than I lack.
Once you said you loved me,
 whispered in shallow breaths cautious and resentfully.
It was more a trap than a declaration
 that inspired my brief anticipation.
In your eyes the truth was clear
 you simply had too much beer.
